Once, I (GM) set a run for my players to extract an inmate from the Seattle arcology and take him to a specific undisclosed location in Puyallup.
Well, they've done their homework. Used contacts to track his possible locations inside the arcology, set up some destinations for public inmate-escort leaves, used contacts again to promote free-entry social events on these destinations (goblin rock gigs, amateur-league urban brawl matches and even flash mobs) and bribed LS officers to get him and a few other inmates to these events and paid a final contact to monitor to which event they'd take the target.
Arriving on the scene, they've kidnapped him without a fight (lots of toxins and flechettes with poisons and magic) from the LS officers accompanying him, took him to their van, extracted the target's RFID GPS tag and copied its signal, made over 5000 copies of that particular tag signal and dropped them off in various places in Downtown.
Then, with just ten minutes left before the target had to return and the arcology would start to look for the GPS signal, the Face of the group hit his journalist contact and spread the news that a viral NeoNet campaign would pay off 1 million nuyens to the lucky winner of 1 of those 5000 tags. And the winner had to report to a LS office to claim the prize.
The LS office hit the tracking button at the same time the news broke in.
You can imagine the rest.
Man, Seattle caught on fire that night.
I was forced to close my notebook and improvise for the rest of the session. At least they spent almost 10k and a lot of Edge.
Good times.
